Katy Perry Clashes With Calvin Harris On Twitter Over Tour Cancellation
Katy Perry is not happy with Calvin Harris after the Scottish DJ, producer and singer cancelled as the opening act on the UK leg of her Teenage Dream tour, which resumes Wednesday night in Nottingham. The pair write:
Katy (@KatyPerry): FYI ALL UK & IRELAND RELATED SHOWS @CalvinHarris will NOT be joining in on the fun and has CANCELLED last minute.
Calvin (@CalvinHarris): Sorry to all who wanted to see me with Katy - her team suddenly moved the goalposts, and i was to appear on stage with no production.
Calvin: It would have looked sh**, sounded sh** - trust me you would have been more disappointed SEEING the show than you are with me cancelling
Calvin: That’s the honest truth
Calvin: Her show is AWESOME, you’ll all have an amazing time without me. (especially without me DJing on a cardboard box in front of a pink curtain)
Katy: @CalvinHarris …funny the goal post seems to be perfectly fine for New Young Pony Club, Yelle, Robyn, Marina & The Diamonds to name a few.
Katy: @CalvinHarris or how about Janell Monae and her 16 piece band… Etc… it’s fine, I’m used to you canceling on me, it’s become your staple!
Calvin: I am really sorry @katyperry I’m just upset because I really wanted to play but your team made it impossible
Calvin: We tried really hard to sort it out, but playing side of stage for 30 minutes, it seemed pointless me even being there
Calvin: Didn’t intend to cause offense or upset anybody
Calvin: WTF are Katy Perry fans telling me to KILL MYSELF on twitter for? Seriously. I’m a producer making music. Leave me alone please thanks x
Calvin: The internet is a really depressing place sometimes

Because I value my life RT @MauroJ1 how about you sing a capella at one of your performances? (no Autotune, no instrumental)
Ok I really must get to bed now…just lost about 100 fair weather followers but it was worth it…those that remain…I love you!!! xxx
Calvin Harris Gets Locked In A Portable Toilet By Madness Prankster Suggs
Calvin Harris wasn’t happy to be victim of a prank by Suggs of Madness at Camp Bestival over the weekend. Calvin had made a stop in portable restroom only to have Suggs jam the door from the outside. “Suggs saw Calvin pop into one of the backstage portaloos,” a witness told The Sun. “He thought it would be a giggle to tamper with the lock so Calvin couldn’t get out.” Harris was stuck in the porta potty for 10 minutes before being freed, and had to be calmed down by festival organizer Rob Da Bank.
Calvin told his Twitter followers (@calvinharris) afterward:
Haha heard greg james saying I got tipped over in a portaloo by Madness! They WERE c*nts, but this is not true!
All in good fun though so fair play to them!

Calvin Harris ‘Flashback’ Video Behind The Scenes
Calvin Harris posted footage on the set on the ‘Flashback’ video shoot in Ibiza, where the singer talked about Ayah - the girl who stars in the video and sings the hook, and the director Vincent Haycock. Ayah also offers commentary.
“We’re here in Ibiza shooting the video for my next single which is ‘Flashback’,” Calvin said. “It’s got a lovely girl called Ayah, who is around somewhere. She’s probably in the video more than me. Hopefully anyway. She’s much more facially attractive than I am.”
Harris said of Haycock, “He’s a lovely chap. He wears a hat. I find a man’s hat is often what draws me to the character of a person.”
As for the filming process, he said, “It’s good with this video because it’s done a lot from a point of view, which means a man in a camera hat, which would be what I see. It means someone completely different from this camera and I can go and eat sweeties and crisps and sit down, which is amazing.”
